Alhamdulilah: The Apparently Accidental Establishment Of The Church In Guinea, Kendall Moss Dec 2006

Alhamdulilah: The Apparently Accidental Establishment Of The Church In Guinea, Kendall Moss

BYU Studies Quarterly

As I neared completion of my first assignment with the U.S. State Department, a two-year tour in Rio de Janeiro, the department’s personnel officers determined that my two years in Rio would be best balanced by an equal amount of time in Conakry, Guinea. Although I had some interest in Africa, I had never given much thought to doing a tour in Guinea. Like a newly called missionary, I quickly began to study about a country I would later come to love.

Building Bridges Of Understanding: The Church And The World Of Islam, Boyd K. Packer, Alwi Shihab

BYU Studies Quarterly

Moritz Busch's Die Mormonen And The Conversion Of Karl G. Maeser, A. Legrand Richards Dec 2006

Moritz Busch's Die Mormonen And The Conversion Of Karl G. Maeser, A. Legrand Richards

BYU Studies Quarterly

Karl G. Maeser’s contributions to the education of nineteenth-century Latter-day Saints had a profound impact on the history of Mormonism, an impact that has reverberated to today. The narrative surrounding Maeser’s conversion has been told and retold for over a century now in the enculturation of students into Brigham Young University’s heritage. This essay seeks to better understand and contextualize the events surrounding Maeser’s conversion and, more specifically, to discuss the text that was most influential in his conversion—the less-than-friendly Die Mormonen by Moritz Busch (1821–99).


"Strangers In A Strange Land": Assessing The Experience Of Latter-Day Saint Expatriate Families, James A. Toronto Dec 2006

"Strangers In A Strange Land": Assessing The Experience Of Latter-Day Saint Expatriate Families, James A. Toronto

BYU Studies Quarterly

The word expatriate is derived from Latin ex, meaning out, and patria, meaning fatherland. In a broad sense, an expatriate is defined as anyone living outside his or her native land. Prominent scriptural expatriates include Adam and Eve, Abraham, Moses, Lehi and his family, the Apostle Paul, and Moroni. In a sense, all of us are spiritual expatriates with plans and hopes of ultimately returning to our home of origin.


The Archive Of Restoration Culture, 1997-2002, Richard Lyman Bushman Dec 2006

The Archive Of Restoration Culture, 1997-2002, Richard Lyman Bushman

BYU Studies Quarterly

When I first began work on Joseph Smith: Rough Stone Rolling in 1996, I realized that reconstructing the cultural environment of the Prophet would be one of my largest tasks. I could scarcely conceive how to go about probing the huge quantities of sermons, newspapers, journals, pamphlets, books, artworks, and private diaries that possibly bore on the restoration of the gospel in the 1820s through the 1840s. Yet the culture of that period bore directly on the success of the young church under Joseph Smith’s leadership. People would never be able to grasp theological ideas that were entirely foreign to …


The Imprisonment Of Martin Harris In 1833, Mark B. Nelson, Steven C. Harper Dec 2006

The Imprisonment Of Martin Harris In 1833, Mark B. Nelson, Steven C. Harper

BYU Studies Quarterly

With editorial work on Joseph Smith’s legal papers in full swing, the attention of several attorneys, historians, archivists, and law students has turned increasingly to American legal culture in the 1820s through the 1840s and specifically to cases involving Latter-day Saints. At the same time, Mark Nelson recently discovered court documents of a trial involving Martin Harris in Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania. These brief documents add considerable information to an otherwise little-known chapter in the life and ministry of Martin and Emer Harris. Readers also learn about early Mormon missionary adventures generally.


The "Beautiful Death" In The Smith Family, Samuel Brown Dec 2006

The "Beautiful Death" In The Smith Family, Samuel Brown

BYU Studies Quarterly

Despite thoughtful attempts by Douglas Davies to situate death at the center of the Mormon “culture of salvation,” the exploration of death in early Mormonism has been somewhat limited to date, particularly as it relates to the Smith family and the earliest years of Mormonism. Against this relative silence stands the testimony of the Smiths themselves, who were deeply concerned with questions of mortality. Joseph Smith was unequivocal on this point during his 1843 funeral sermon for James Adams: “All men know that all men must die. What is the object of our coming into existence then dying and falling …

Understanding Mazmuur Naafi: The Arabic Psalm Of Nephi, Josh E. Probert Dec 2006

Understanding Mazmuur Naafi: The Arabic Psalm Of Nephi, Josh E. Probert

BYU Studies Quarterly

Arabic calligraphy is arguably the defining form of Islamic art. Jamal Qureshi has combined this centuries-old tradition and the geometric forms of Ottoman architecture with one of the richest passages from the Book of Mormon, the Psalm of Nephi (2 Nephi 4:16–35), to create an artwork rich in meaning. The artwork is visual praise; and it represents the way in which religious artforms are fluid, transgenerational, and adaptable to new meanings. This short essay explains the artwork by contextualizing it in both Islamic and Mormon traditions.

Economic Complementarity And Political Solidarity: Concerning The Sources Of The First Treaty Of 1850 Between Switzerland And The United States, Cédric Humair Nov 2006

Economic Complementarity And Political Solidarity: Concerning The Sources Of The First Treaty Of 1850 Between Switzerland And The United States, Cédric Humair

Swiss American Historical Society Review

The Civil War known as the Sonderbund and the institutionalization of the Federal State, in 1848, do not solely constitute important historical milestones in Swiss domestic politics. These events, which mark the advent of a modern Switzerland, also had repercussions upon Swiss international politics and diplomacy and, in particular, upon relations with the United States of America. Beginning in 1850, the new liberal-radical authorities concluded a General Convention of Friendship, Reciprocal Establishments, Commerce, and for the Surrender of fugitive Criminals with the "sister Republic."' For the first time in their histories, the two countries regulated several spheres of their relations …
